Recipe: mushroom burgers

There's a National Burger Day I had no idea about till earlier this week! So while the pubs and cafes and restaurants and burger joints were fighting it out for hungry customers, we decided to make our own. Here's my mushroom burger recipe :)

New potatoes - 8 to 10 medium sized

Mozzarella - 125 gm

Cheddar cheese - 100 gm, grated

Salt & pepper

Oregano - 3/4 tsp

Paprika - 1 tsp

Olive oil - 1 tbsp

Egg - 1, beaten

Mushroom burger recipe

What you do

Heat oil in a frying pan, to shallow fry

When the oil is hot, dip a patty in the beaten egg, coating both sides, and then coat evenly with breadcrumbs

Place in the frying pan immediately

Do the same for the remaining patties

Shallow fry till both sides are brown and crisp

When you flip the patties over, that's when you start prepping your burger buns

Slice the buns in half and arrange face up on a large baking tray

Slice the mozzarella and place on all the buns

Grill at around 225 degrees celcius till the cheese has melted and begun to brown

To serve, arrange salad leaves on the bun bottom, place a mushroom patty on top, add a dollop of mayonnaise (mustard/ ketchup/ chilli sauce / spicy salsa maybe?), some more salad leaves, and then your bun top!
